Eliezer Bosserman was one of the pioneer ministers of the Church of the Brethren in Michigan. He was the son of Samuel Bosserman and wife, who then lived in Stark County, Ohio. He was born January 30, 1834. His first wife's name was Mary Magdalene Thoma. Later he was united in marriage to Alice Donalson. They were blessed with a large family who have been faithful members of the Church of the Brethren. Both his first and his second wife passed to their eternal reward and were buried in Michigan. His third wife died in 1940 at Eagle Creek, Ohio, aged over ninety-six years. Brother Bosserman was received into the church by baptism in the Eagle Creek church, Ohio. He was also called to the ministry and ordained to the eldership there. The family moved to Gratiot County, Michigan, in April 1882 and located near the New Haven church. He preached mostly at this church. He was a faithful Christian worker. He stood well in the district, and his name is found on the list of loyal elders who have served the churches. He moved back to Hancock County, Ohio, and passed to his eternal rest in 1915."
